Girls Can Lift Heavy Too!
Hi guys,
I've been doing martial arts for 20 years now and I've always considered myself as averagely fit and strong. I used to go to the gym and lift what I thought were heavy weights for a girl - that was until I met my awesome personal trainer and now I am lifting weights I never imagined I could lift! And guess what girls - I HAVEN'T BULKED UP!
The common myth among women is that if you lift heavy you'll end up like Fatima Whitbread on steroids (sorry Fatima) but it just isn't the case. I have been astonished as I have been upping my weights nearly every week and I haven't got bulky, just more sculpted. That brings me on to my next point - I could lift all the weights in the world but if I was eating crap I wouldn't get the results I wanted. I believe that 70% of your training should be done in the kitchen - there's no point having fab abs if you can't see them behind your muffin top!
I'll keep you posted as I progress - I think lifting weights must be addictive because since I started increasing the weight I've become a bit obsessed! I never felt like this about running on the treadmill or doing classes!

Running-a Best Exercise For Every One
There are so many exercises to be fit and fine but i find running the best one because of its various health benefits and also because it's free of cost.Here are some of it's health benefits.
One of the most popular benefits of running is to reduce or manage weight. It burns more calories per minute, than any other form of cardiovascular exercise. Research proves the fact that running burns an average of 100 calories per each mile.
Regular running raises HDL (good) cholesterol, reduces the risk of blood clots and encourages use of the 50% of your lungs that usually go unused.
Because running is such a good form of exercise boosting your cardio vascular and respiratory systems, this improves your body's ability to fight off coughs, colds and viruses. Whilst it won't make you immune to them you will find that you suffer less and recover more quiRunning -- like other types of exercise -- is a great stress-reliever and may even relieve mild depression. Many runners enjoy reaching the "runner's high" -- that euphoric, clear, and calm state they feel after a long run.

Overweight young women could die young
Young women who are overweight at the age of 18 have a higher risk of dying young, but medication and behavior therapy can help young people lose weight, US researchers reported on Monday.
A study of 102,400 female nurses showed that women who were overweight or obese when 18 drank more alcohol, smoked more and were less likely to exercise as teens - and were also more likely to die between the ages of 36 and 56.
The more a women weighed at 18, the greater her risk of dying young, the researchers reported in Monday's issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Women who were moderately overweight at 18 were more than 50 per cent more likely to die in the 12 years of follow-up, and obese women were more than twice as likely to die, as the slimmest 18-year-olds.
"This paper underscores the importance of efforts to prevent excessive weight gain in children, not only to prevent obesity but also to prevent moderate overweight (people)," said Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health, who worked on the study.
The women died of various causes - 258 died of cancer, 55 of heart disease or stroke and 61 committed suicide.
Even women who had never smoked were more likely to die if they remembered being overweight as 18-year-olds, the researchers found.
However, a second study found it is possible to help youngsters lose weight using behaviour therapy and the prescription drug sibutramine.
Dr Robert Berkowitz of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and colleagues tested 498 obese youngsters aged 12 to 16.
Those given sibutramine, marketed by Abbott Laboratories as Meridia, lost more weight, the researchers reported in a second paper in Annals.
On average, the children who got the drug plus behavior therapy lost 8.2kg more compared to children who received behavioural therapy alone. On average, adolescents in the study who took a sugar pill gained 1.8 kg over the year.
The teens who got the drug also ended up with healthier levels of cholesterol and blood sugar, according to the study, paid for by Abbott. There was a side-effect, however - tachycardia, or rapid heartbeat.
"At the end of a year of treatment, one third of the adolescents who received medication were no longer severely overweight, and out of six who were treated dropped below the standard definition of being overweight," Berkowitz said in a statement.
In March, a US Food and Drug Administration staff report recommended against approving Meridia for use in children because there was so little information about its safety.
